ORLANDO, Fla. -The Florida Highway Patrol arrested one motorist and is searching for another Sunday after a fatal pedestrian crash.

Authorities said the crash happened near the intersection of South Orange Blossom Trail and 39th Street about 3:30 a.m. Sunday.

The unidentified pedestrian was crossing South Orange Blossom Trail, but she was not in a crosswalk or at an intersection.

A third vehicle driven by Yasmani Fonseca, 23, of Orlando, also hit the pedestrian.

The Florida Highway Patrol is asking anyone with information about the Taurus or its driver to contact them or Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS.
